If you take out the commercials, they're about 45 minutes each. Such is the case with shows such as Twin Peaks and Xena.

I've been transferring a lot of shows I taped over the years to DVD and cutting out the commercials. It's interesting to watch how shows keep getting shorter and shorter because of the networks adding commercials.

Shows from the 50's and early 60's would run around 50 to 55 minutes per hour episode. The last few years it has been 43 to 45 minutes per hour. Some shows this year I have noticed are down to 40-41 minutes per hour.

what are you using to transfer them?

Just a standard VHS player connected to a DVD recorder. Some things I watch as I play/record so that I can cut the commercials out....others I record everything to disc to make sure I at least have them (before VHS players go out of existence) and can then cut the commercials out at a later date.

 

[ComicChick]

i need to do that. i have some vhs tapes that i'd like to transfer. movies, home movies, events etc

 

[Ipodman]

I have tons of random American idol performances stuck in my DVD recorder...

One of the Sons of Anarchy episodes from season 2 was only 36 minutes long.

It is fantastic. Also, I like CDisplay.

 

[Manic]

If I somehow managed a transfer at my job, the only place I could afford to live in and tolerate would be Texas.
